Don't Stare Too Long Or You Might End Up Being Taken Away

If you are on broadband - you can see ALL these unique images in just 2-3 minutes.

If you try `to picture' what the fractal images might look like based on the description - just before you click - it adds an element of fun.

Black and Blue: Really beautiful, relaxing - `infinite recess' in black and blue. All of the images you will see are screen saver quality.
Looking Cosmic: Again, mellow - metallic feel - spacey.
Xcubed: Bright - blue, red and green - blended - bold.
Chaos: Paisley fantasy - super nice - bright.
Paisley Tradition: Suddenly, it's 1968 again.
Beach Foam: Wonderful `beach scene' with lots of greens and blues.
Purple Jellyfish: Mellow choice.
Spiral To Infinity: Infinite regress type -- very bright.
Picture Of Reality?: No Really. This may not last long as it is from a british newspaper -- but -- it is the fractal that some say represents reality itself. The fractal is amazing. If true, reality is beautiful.
Sunset: Soothing.
Shell Glow: Beautiful blue swirl with distinction.
Psychedelic Blue: Worthy of the Title.
Lake Vision: Dark - and blue.
Smooth Peace: Wallpaper - like the others on this page.
Pastel Fractal: Super soft and beautiful too.
The Sinking Of The Clark: Stranger - almost a machine feel.
The Twist: Paisleylike -- gentle - worth a look.
